Shivaji University is one of the finest centres of learning in India that endeavors for creation and dissemination of knowledge in respective fields.

Through the years of its strong standing, it carried ahead the patronage of renowned scholars and personalities in executing innovative ideas and schemes. The eventful journey of this university has been characterized by several memorable milestones. Our high spirits and continuous efforts have lead this university to celebration of Golden Jubilee Year in 2011 – 12. Continuing to the same spirit, we look ahead to demonstrate student centric initiatives through strategic plan of actions.

Higher Education is a driving force that looks upon various aspects like access to education, inculcation of values and ethics, quality assurance, capacity building of generation next, promotion of research, etc. While focusing upon our key roles, we look forward for more sensitive and responsive administration, as far as our services to stakeholders are concerned.

I feel it necessary to acquaint our stakeholders of the administrative set up of the university at a glance through the university website. Shivaji University is spread across the geographical area of Sangli, Satara and Kolhapur districts. The general administration of this university mainly deals with the H.R. (Human Resource) strategies viz. appointments, training, allocation and placement of respective staff members and teachers. Simultaneously, it deals with the admission process, eligibility of students, various scholarships, curriculum development, meeting of authorities, estate management, building & maintenance, security, etc.

The prime focus is upon ensuring smooth functioning of all administrative units and academic departments of this university and maintaining secure & peaceful environment in the university premises.

Presently, Higher education in India is going through various reforms. At the same time it is trying to reach the global standards. As we step ahead into the vision 2020, we aspire to emerge as a leading educational hub of international standards.

I look forward to our dialogue on various concerns and issues pertaining to development of Shivaji University and appreciate your suggestions on role of university in nation building. It would be an overwhelming experience to establish linkages with the practical world for gaining expected results.

Let us join hands together for having close association in the interest of educational welfare of our students and society as a whole.
